credit crunch time... that's a lot of dough to for over even if it is cost!

These were from Galerie Beaubourg, correct? The prices are about right if that's the case

"Original artwork". Edition of 20. Same design. Gotta love the marketing gimmicks.

Customizing 20 of the same design = not 20 originals. Did bast sell his Pow Mickeys as originals?
This type of BS marketing really gets to me...

By labelling it as "original" they can sell @4x the price. It might be poor work but people buy according to its "label".
Its simply a varied edition of 20 but thats a lot harder to sell. BRP acting like an ebayer playing with semantics.

i love swoons work and if she can sell for that price good for her - i'm just disappointed that i can't buy her prints anymore and thats what it is - at least there will be no flipping

First off, Swoon and "marketing ploy" should never even be in the same breath, let alone sentence. Second, Mike (Snelle) runs one of the best UK galleries dedicated to our "scene". He has taken on artists who he believes in (most of whom I am not much of a fan of) and creates quality prints and shows that really let the artists do what they do best. Have you all forgotten so quickly how awesome an experience it probably was to be at the print show in person and be able to see how it all gets done??!!

that I will not argue with. But Swoon is a great person and artist. She personally over-sees some great causes and is one of the hardest working artists out there. Furthermore the prices of her original work have remained "affordable", while others have squeezed ever cent they can out of their fan base. She is one of the good eggs and has my full support, which to anyone who knows me is of no surprise.
